r/F30

First pic is before second pic is after. So much cleaner looking now. Got tired of carbon mirror covers feel like everyone has them.

Hey everyone,

I have a 2014 F30 with the standard 6.5" screen (like in the picture above).

I haven’t checked the exact head unit yet, but I’m pretty sure it’s the HU_ENTRY (no navigation). I’m looking to upgrade to an 8.8" display and add Apple CarPlay / Android Auto. From what I’ve researched, I could go with an Android screen, but I’ve heard mixed things about lag and overheating since everything runs on the unit itself. The more interesting option for me would be an MMI box, since it keeps the OEM system intact and just adds CarPlay on top.

My main question is: Can I install an 8.8" aftermarket or OEM screen just as a display (basically as a monitor) when using an MMI box? Or is upgrading to a larger screen not possible with the HU_ENTRY head unit (compared to EntryNav/NBT)? From what I’ve seen, there might be resolution or compatibility limitations depending on the head unit.

Would really appreciate any advice or experience from people who have done this setup!

Thanks in advance 🙏

first thing i noticed is the coolant is milky brown

so i was thinking of changing the oil filter housing gasket and the oil cooler gasket

and flushing the the coolant and doing a oil change

also doing the mickey mouse flange and new spark plugs just cuz

but just wanted to ask if there is anything else i should be doing maintenance wise because of the high mileage

Hope this was helpful for anyone looking into this mod, super easy and a very nice improvement for the price.

I know its like a little brother to b48 engines but just bought a 2018 318i edition m sport pack. I am 36 and this is my 4th car. But its my first BMW and i am very excited. Its on 88600km and is well maintened at official service. I am gpğng to change transmission oil soon, do you recommend anything else?

Best build you can do for these 4cyl f30! Enough power to be competitive on backroads and can be pretty light with the right mods.

Forgot to add I also have a m235i race EPS flash :)

Lmk any questions!

Bought these 437m on Facebook but didn’t realize they were likely powder coated/painted black. In the ad it showed two tone. Little bit upset , as I wasn’t going for the full black look, guess I didn’t realize when buying. Regardless, you guys think a decent shop could redo these back to OEM black/silver spoke?

I bought a 328i previous owner put a f80 kit on it,

It only has 60k kms

Is it terrible for having m3 kit?

The side view cameras on my 2019 F36 look pretty bad, they’re usable but the image quality looks more like 80’s VHS than what you’d expect on a 2019 car! Camera’s aren’t dirty or scratched. Does this bug anybody else?

I’m looking for the hardware that’s circled if anybody knows where I can order them I can’t seem to find them

Shit vs fart 😂

I got a deal on a CTS turbo charge pipe off of fb marketplace and I’m aware I’m missing a few items, if possible could someone let me know everything I am missing for this charge pipe, thank u

M Sport adaptive suspension strut decided to piss itself. 62k miles 2018 340i. Wish me luck boys. Is this common? Never had a car with a leaky strut
